Random thoughts on a chilly sunny November morning:
1. I discovered red nail polish again this week. I have been giving myself a manicure every week now for the holidays. I’ve painted them cream. I’ve painted them taupe. I’ve painted them navy. I’ve painted them dark gray. And this week I went all holiday.
RED.
And I LOVE IT.
2. You know how much I love Colleeen Rothschild skincare —I’ve been using for over two years. And every year about this time Colleen Rothschild has the best sale of the year. EVERYTHING IS 30% sitewide right now–time to stock up. Just use code THISTLEWOOD30.
You can see the sale here.
3. I discovered this list of the top 100 Christmas songs for 2024 on Spotify.
Guess what number 1 was (please act surprised)?
This song.
4. It was an amazing week on the blog. We talked about
- 101 holiday gift ideas under $10
- how to make these large DIY ornaments
- 21 easy DIY gfit wrap ideas
- 7 creative ideas for Christmas tree toppers
5. We discovered yesterday that my Santa mug holds 1 1/2 cups of coffee of a regular coffee mug. That’s where I’m getting all my extra energy from.
6. The Holidays at Home bundle is LIVE. So many of you got the bundle last year and told me how much you loved it. For the next couple of days the bundle is on special deal—normally all these ebooks and resources would be over $250—but everything is now bundled together and all these resources are only $39.
